Apparently the first WA releases of 2024 have been announced on the Archive’s Instagram and FB pages. The January releases are:

Faithless (1932)
The Prince and the Pauper (1937)
A Day at the Races
Cabin in the Sky
Rover Dangerfield
Joe’s Apartment

Never heard of the first one or the last one, but I’m definitely interested in Day at the Races and Prince and the Pauper, and maybe Cabin in the Sky (which was shown on TCM not too long ago in a new transfer).

Joe's Apartment is Jerry O Connell, Carter Burwell and....cockroaches. IIRC, it was an MTV project, maybe born out of Liquid Television.

Not for me...hard pass on bugs, even with a possibly interesting Burwell score in play.

The Prince and the Pauper (1937) for me, & just like Gentleman Jim (1942), a 4K scan from the original camera negatives smile

Same here for me. Lovely cover for Prince and the Pauper.

No news on February releases as yet, but I’m bumping this thread to bring notice to an HTF thread with some promising news from David Strohmaier and Robert Harris with regards to a potential restoration of Around the World in 80 Days.

Rover Dangerfield


Little known fact. Don Bluth and Co worked on this movie though it wasn't a Don Bluth film.

February releases currently consist of a Hanna-Barbera Superstars box set containing 10 TV movies featuring some of their most popular characters (all of which are also available individually).

Yup, a dream release for Hanna-Barbera fans, but unfortunately I'm not one of them. Oh well, let's see what March brings.

I really enjoyed Hanna-Barbera cartoons as a little kid but not sure I feel compelled to collect their titles. Not even Flintstones and The Jetsons which were probably my favorites.

COMING TO BLU-RAY FROM THE WARNER ARCHIVE COLLECTION ON MARCH 12th

COLT .45 (1957-1960) THE COMPLETE SERIES.
A TEN-DISC, 67-EPISODE SET.

Set in the American West of the 1870s, Colt .45 stars Wayde Preston as Christopher Colt, a giant of a man who works undercover on a special assignment for the U.S. Army Intelligence Corps to combat the lawlessness on the young country's frontier. Using the guise of salesman for his family's arms manufacturing company, Colt travels alone, bringing law to the dangerous West at the barrel of his family's signature weapon--the Colt .45. This action-packed series made Preston an instant TV favorite, and the series itself featured an impressive list of guest stars including Dan Blocker, Peter Brown, Robert Conrad, Angie Dickinson, Troy Donahue, Alan Hale Jr., and future TV icons Leonard Nimoy and Adam West. During the series’ third season, the character of Sam Colt Jr. (portrayed by Donald May) was introduced as Christopher’s cousin, taking on the family mantle to combat the nefarious villains and outlaws introduced in each episode. Long unavailable and out of public view, now all 67 episodes of COLT .45 are making their home video debut in this Blu-ray collection, which have been meticulously remastered from 4K scans of the original camera negatives.

This is a big, and welcome, surprise. I thought they had totally forgotten about this series. To have it now show up, on Blu-ray no less, is a shock. Is this the first vintage Warner (or MGM) series to appear on Blu-ray?

Per the Archive’s Facebook page, Looney Tunes Collector’s Choice Volume 3 will be released on March 12th.

Edit: this month’s Extras podcast mentions that they wanted to have some live-action films for February, but were unable to do so. It does mention will some more typical classic films in March alongside Colt 45.

Is that the 1997 Brett Ratner film with Chris Tucker?

Not one of my favourite Wayne titles, but I may get it.

It's the only Wayne western that I've never seen. It was on TCM UK a couple of years ago, but in SD, so I thought I'd wait 'till it got a good HD release. No rush, I'll probably wait for a Warner UK release.

My least favourite Ford/Wayne western. Far too sentimental.
